Basketball Summary. After a slow start. while the starting five were be- coming accustomed to each other, Central Catholic presented a well-balanced ball club by tournament time. Given more time to function, there is no doubt that our 44-45 basketball team would have set an en- viable record. Brother Cyril took over the team shortly prior to :he opening game. Sacrilicing the first few encounters 'or the sake of teaching the boys teamwork, Brother Jroved the value of this lesson by the results he achie- red in the latter part of the season. The final record of eight won and ten lost does not ell the story of the potentialities of the 44-45 team. But, the steady improvement of the team justifies the onviction that the boys really had the ability to play Scoring for the season was as follows: hfdef -.------............ 171 Bafany ---.-.- --.--'- 18 VICManus ............ 89 costin ,,,,, .-.-,.- 1 7 7055 ------------ ----.. 7 9 Fobe ,,,, ,.., 5 auetz ------- ------ 7 7 Collins 3 flackey ....... ...,., 3 2 White ,-.'- 1 frowe ........ .,,,,, 2 8 --.- P'Keefe ...... ...... 2 3 Total ---- .....,543 a smooth, high-class type of ball. That they did come into their own can be clearly seen in a comparison of the scores of the three games with South Bend Cath- olic. Early in the campaign the Lions took us into camp comparatively without effort, 28-24. In the lat- ter part of the season we defeated the Lions twice and took the City Catholic Championship by the margin of 36-25. Central Catholic advanced into the semi-final round of the South Bend Sectionals. Washington High, who thus advanced into the finals, defeated us by a small lead. Ejection of key players spoiled the crowd's opportunity to witness an exciting, high-scor- ing game.
